Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 oz can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
- 2 Tbsp mustard powder
- pinch of ground cloves
- Chipotle powder to taste
- 1 cup water
Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat 10-20 minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes before transferring sauce to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
This recipe produced a little over 2 cups of sauce which would be plenty for 4 to 6 people. Play around with the seasonings and adjust it for your personal preference. You could add in a bit of Worcestershire sauce too. Also, the type of honey you use will influence the flavor. I recommend clover honey because the underlying flavors are pretty mild.
I look forward to using this recipe this summer. Our oven-cooked chicken tasted great with the sauce but I know it would be even better from the grill.
